The number of cats that you have is; 27 cats

<h3>How to calculate algebra word problems?</h3>

Let the number of cats alice has be x.

Since you have thrice the amount of cats that alice has, then you have 3x cats.

Bob has 7 less cats than you. Thus, bob has; 3x - 7

If they have a total of 56 cats, then;

x + 3x - 7 + 3x = 56

7x - 7 = 56

7x = 56 + 7

7x = 63

x = 63/7

x = 9

Thus, number of cats you have = 3x = 3 * 9 = 27 cats

Answer:

m<C = 42°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<A = (2x - 2)°

m<C = (4x - 6)°

m<DBC = (5x + 4)°

Thus:

m<DBC = m<A + m<C (exterior angle theorem of a triangle)

(5x + 4)° = (2x - 2)° + (4x - 6)°

Solve for x

5x + 4 = 2x - 2 + 4x - 6

Collect like terms

5x + 4 = 6x - 8

5x - 6x = -4 - 8

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1

x = 12

✔️m<C = (4x - 6)°

Plug in the value of x

m<C = 4(12) - 6 = 48 - 6

m<C = 42°

If a student didn’t understand proportional relationships, how would you explain it to them?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.

Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is know as the "constant of proportionality".

I really recommend watching Khan Academy's video over proportional relationships, the speaker explains it very well!!

2x+8y = 6<br> 15x + 20y = 15
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The solution is (0, 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please copy and share the instructions.  Here they are:  Solve the following system of linear equations.

Both of the equations can be reduced (simplified):

2x+8y = 6            =>  x + 4y = 3

15x + 20y = 15     => 3x + 4y = 3

Let's use the elimination by addition and subtraction method.  Multiply the first equation by -1, obtaining

                                 -x - 4y = -3

Add the second       3x + 4y = 3

equation to the

first.

We get:                       2x = 0.

Thus, x = 0.  Substituting 0 for x in the 1st original equation yields:

2(0) + 8y = 6.  Then y = 6/8, or y = 3/4.

The solution is (0, 3/4).
